LOUDON, N.H. -- Martin Truex Jr. felt a bit uneasy as he settled into a seat in the NASCAR hauler where officials summon drivers accused of rules infractions, bruised from fistfights or found guilty of general poor decorum.Anyone feel like theyre in trouble for being here? he asked.The setting was a bit unfamiliar for one of NASCARs more popular drivers around the garage, but he was here for a chat not because he was in trouble. With a smile, Truex insisted hes been a stock car model citizen through 396 career races where not one has ended with him being called to the sports version of the principals office.Its a good record, he said, laughing.But Truex -- or at least his teams through the years -- have been unable to completely steer clear of NASCAR violations. Truexs win Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway in the Chase opener came under scrutiny when the No. 78 Toyota failed the post-race laser inspection. His car was tagged with infractions that should have drawn a 10-point penalty. Jimmie Johnsons No. 48 Chevrolet failed the same inspection and was subject to the same penalty -- until NASCAR decided not to punish the drivers.Free from any penalty, Truex said he hoped he could escape the accusation the Furniture Row Racing team had cheated its way to victory lane.You dont want people to think youre winning races by what they call `cheating, he said Friday. You have people on social media and they get upset about it. It was such a little thing. It so easily could have went the other way. Its frustrating that it kind of taints your win a little bit.Truex would have kept his win and advanced to the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship even if NASCAR decided to levy a points fine. NASCAR did make one change for Sundays race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway -- all 16 Chase cars will go through laser inspection after only nine were picked after the Chase opener. The laser inspection station takes a precise look -- down to about 1/1000th of an inch -- to find any potential violation.Carl Edwards, a fellow Chase driver, backed NASCARs decision to reverse course on a points penalty for the drivers.They police this sport the way that we have asked them to police it, he said.Still, the first Chase race was marred by inspection talk instead of whos hot/whos not as NASCARs version of the playoffs heats up.Going forward, I think everybody realizes we dont need to be talking about that after a great race, Truex said. I just feel like it puts a black eye on the sport and on the teams.Truex knows about as well as any driver the nasty effects of the fallout that comes from a cheating scandal. He was booted from the Chase in 2013 and lost his ride at Michael Waltrip Racing when the team tried to manipulate the outcome of a race.What was his professional rock bottom turned into the ride of a lifetime when he landed with the single-car team at Furniture Row. Truex was one of four drivers to race for the championship last season and he has four wins over the last two seasons after winning just twice in almost a decade with other teams.Buoyed by FRRs affiliation with Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota, Truex has again stamped himself a championship contender.We get everything that Gibbs gets, Truex said. At MWR, we got the same (information) from Toyota that Gibbs got, but we got nothing from Gibbs at all. It was two separate teams.Truexs career has skyrocketed while former MWR teammate Clint Bowyer has suffered through the worst season of his career as part of a one-year stopgap deal with HScott Motorsports.The friends went on a fishing trip in early August where Bowyer bemoaned how much his 2016 sucked. Truex used his own career as a potential path for what could be ahead next season when Bowyer moves to the retiring Tony Stewarts ride at Stewart-Haas Racing: The career rebirth could be as simple as a new team logo on the firesuit.Truex also said he made peace with Kevin Harvick following a post-race accusation that the SHR driver intentionally hit him at Chicagoland.We agreed it was a racing deal and we moved forward, he said. I was mad at him and I didnt know he was mad, also. I guess he thought that I ran into him.With a whopping 1,266 laps led, Truex has few opportunities these days to bump a car out of his way.

It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others.Nasser Hussain hailed Englands character after India closed day three of the first Test in Rajkot on 319-4 - still 218 in arrears. Cheteshwar Pujara and Murali Vijay hit centuries to make the tourists toil for much of the day, the pair sharing a stand of 209, but Englands reward for a day of patience was two wickets in the final two overs.Spinners Adil Rashid and Zafar Ansari took a wicket each - Haseeb Hameed taking two catches at short leg to remove Vijay and nightwatchman Amit Mishra, respectively. Highlights from the third day of the first Test between India and England in Rajkot Hussain told Sky Sports that the late breakthroughs will give both sides pause for thought with two days of the Test still remaining.Those last 10 minutes will just make both batting line-ups a little bit nervous, he said. In this part of the world, you cant get too far ahead of yourself because things change very, very quickly.Before those two late wickets people watching might have been tempted to think this is going to be another boring draw in India but here you can never assume that. India vs England November 12, 2016, 3:45am Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass He added: England showed a lot of character ttoday and not just because of those two wickets at the end.ddddddddddddhey dived around, their body language was good and there were excellent spells of bowling. Stuart Broad bowled five overs for one run after they took the new ball, Ben Stokes bowled a beautiful spell to get Gautam Gambhirs wicket early on.I thought everyone played their part and it was almost as if those two wickets were reward for the effort they put in throughout the day.But even if they hadnt got those two wickets, I would still say well done England, that was an excellent effort. How do you get Virat Kohli out? Over to Nasser... India skipper Virat Kohli remains unbeaten on 26 overnight after surviving testing spells from Broad and Stokes that kept him without score for 10 balls, and then on one for six more.Hussain said the visitors got their tactics to Kohli pretty much spot on. I think England bowled to him exactly how youd want to, he reflected.Ottis Gibson will sit down with Englands analyst and theyll be pleased. We did a beehive of where they have been getting Kohil out and where they bowled to him and that matched up absolutely perfectly.The only difference is that they are up against a Kohli that is in nick and is lining the ball up well, so hes leaving well outside off-stump. He waited for Englands bowlers to come to him and then he picked them off.Watch extended highlights from day three of the first Test from 2pm and 8pm on Sky Sports 2, with The Verdict following immediately afterwards at 3pm and 9pm.
